Hello folks!
I am officially lost in intels CPU jungle - specifically Xeons - I was looking at a local (europe) retailer for a mainboard and CPU for a NAS;
Is the E5 line successor to E3 or is that equivalent to I3 and I5? What sockets do xeons usually have?
(yes I looked at the several ongoing NAS builds, but it seems I can not find the mainboards used in them over here at any retailer I know of)
Thanks for you help!
E5s are socket 2011
E3s are socket 1150/1151 and so on.

ok, so there are several generations running under the E3 and E5 names?
Yes. For example the Xeon E3-1230.
Probably easiest for you to resort to Wikipedia. It might take a while to rummage through all the information but.. Yeah.. Also the links on Wikipedia most of the time go to Intel ARK database.
Skylake is the codename used by Intel for a processor microarchitecture which was launched in August 2015 succeeding the Broadwell microarchitecture. Skylake is a microarchitecture redesign using the same 14 nm manufacturing process technology as its predecessor Broadwell, serving as a "tock" in Intel's "tick-tock" manufacturing and design model. According to Intel, the redesign brings greater CPU and GPU performance and reduced power consumption. It will be succeeded by Kaby La Skylake's devel...
LGA 1151 is an Intel microprocessor compatible socket which supports the Intel Skylake microprocessor and the future Kaby Lake CPU. LGA 1151 is designed as a replacement for the LGA 1150 (known as Socket H3). LGA 1151 has 1151 protruding pins to make contact with the pads on the processor. The voltage regulator has again been moved from the CPU die to motherboard. Most motherboards for this socket support solely DDR4 memory, a lesser number support DDR3(L) memory, and the least number have slots ...
Then there's the ginormous lists if you really wanna deep dive..
E5330, E5340 and E5350 is not listed on but it is mentioned on. In August 2007, E5330 is widely available. In June 2007, E5340 Engineering Samples were available on eBay.
This generational and chronological list of Intel processors attempts to present all of Intel's processors from the pioneering 4-bit 4004 (1971) to the present high-end offerings, which include the 64-bit Itanium 2 (2002), Intel Core i7, and Xeon E3 and E5 series processors (2015). Concise technical data are given for each product. First microprocessor (single-chip IC processor)
This article provides a list of motherboard chipsets made by Intel, divided into three main categories: those that use the PCI bus for interconnection (the 4xx series), those that connect using specialized "hub links" (the 8xx series), and those that connect using PCI Express (the 9xx series). The chipsets are listed in chronological order. Early IBM XT-compatible mainboards did not have a chipset yet, but relied instead on a collection of discrete TTL chips by Intel:
Around the time that the Pentium III processor was introduced, Intel's Xeon line diverged from its line of desktop processors, which at the time was using the Pentium branding. The divergence was implemented by using different sockets; since then, the sockets for Xeon chips have tended to remain constant across several generations of implementation. The chipsets contain a 'memory controller hub' and an 'I/O controller hub', which tend to be called 'north bridge' and 'south bridge' respectively. T...

Thanks for that great compilation of Wikipedia!
So am I right that the
Lagittaja:
E3-1230 v5
is the newest of them and needs socket 1151, right?
Yes, that's correct. The E3-xxxx v5 Xeons use the Skylake microarchitecture, use the LGA1151 socket and need C230 series chipset (C232 or C236).

Thank you very much! I realy had a knot in my brain it seems; now it becomes very obvious though! Thanks!
